Description
quote above from Areopagitica:
A good Booke is the pretious life-blood of a mafter fpirit, imbalm'd and treafur'd up on purpofe to a life beyond life.
Or in more modern lettering and orthography:
A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life.
Milton’s Areopagitica is among the most eloquent protests against prior censorship ever written. Its context lies in the religious politics of seventeenth century England, where the religious cross-currents of the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation inflamed passions, as the French Revolution and Soviet communism did in later centuries.
